Just wanting to clarify that I plan on following my God-given hunger signals....not a menu plan. I am going to go with the flow and aim to function as a naturally thin eater. I think I'll keep my eye on my "naturally thin eater" friend while camping... She knows that she is my role model in this department:-) I just love how thin eating just flows naturally with her!
I was re-reading my post and thought my plan may have sounded a bit rigid to some people. The reason I am pre-planning these options is because I am of course pre-packing all the food to take with us on our trip. I just want to make sure I choose healthier options this time round with camping.
I know I am going to be challenged with 0-5 eating. I was reading 1 Corinthians 10:13 again this morning and am reminded that God WILL provide a way out of temptation. I will be resting in this truth...
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
I will also do as Jesus says...
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." Matthew 26:41
The following verse keeps on resonating with me as well...
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith..." Hebrews 12:2
He is the author and perfector of our faith. Those words have been popping out to me the past couple days. What an awesome truth and promise.
Well, enough of my ramblings! I guess I won't be back on for about a week.

ReplyDeleteDarci,
ReplyDeleteYou are about to begin such an awesome journey with the Lord! Ooooh, what incentive you have with this bet with your husband! lol! Go for it!
Also, I was just checking out your blog and noticed you were adopting some children from Ethiopia... Some close friends (actually our youth pastor/neighbour) are also adopting a child from Ethiopia...anxiously awaiting the call! All their paperwork is completed and sent off...
